“How is it?”
“Pavilion Master Yuan!”
“Have you made up your mind?”
“I’m still waiting for your reply!”
“Keeping people waiting like this isn’t very polite, you know!”
In the backyard of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion, Baili Lie saw that after he had finished speaking, Yuan Qingshan remained frozen in place, showing no reaction.
He chuckled and urged him again.
“Consider?”
“I’ll consider your great-grandfather!”
“Baili Lie, listen to me carefully!”
“I don’t know what methods you used to acquire the shares from the Xu and Zheng families!”
“But I’m telling you!”
“If you think I’ll submit!”
“You’re dreaming!”
“Back when I was out there making a name for myself!”
“You were still inside your father’s pant leg!”
“That’s right, you now have seventy-five percent of the shares!”
“And you have the ability to propose in the board meeting to have my director status and my position as Pavilion Master of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion completely removed!”
“But don’t forget!”
“I still hold ten percent of the shares in the Treasure Medicine Pavilion!”
“You hold the majority, and you can indeed dilute my shares through various means!”
“But as long as I don’t willingly give them up!”
“I will always be a shareholder of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion!”
“As long as I don’t agree!”
“You want the Treasure Medicine Pavilion to completely belong to your Baili family?”
“Go dream on!”
“And I’m telling you!”
“Stop thinking about my medicinal pills!”
“Otherwise, you’ll die a miserable death!”
“Look at yourself, what kind of person are you?”
“And you still want to do business with medicinal pills?”
“Pah!”
Hearing Baili Lie’s question, Yuan Qingshan, who had recovered from his shock, completely changed his previous submissive attitude.
He pointed at Baili Lie’s nose and started to curse.
After he had understood Baili Lie’s insatiable ambition, he knew that continuing to yield and retreat was utterly meaningless.
It was clear that Baili Lie and the Baili family intended to privatize the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.
Rather than being drained of all profit and then ruthlessly cast aside, it was better to act on impulse and fight them head-on.
This way, even if he ended up with nothing afterward, at least he wouldn’t have to grovel anymore.
He could live with some dignity!
“Damn it, you old geezer!”
“I see you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!”
“How dare you speak to our boss like that, are you tired of living?”
“Do you think our boss is really asking for your opinion now?”
“Let me tell you!”
“You have to agree today, whether you like it or not!”
“If you don’t agree, my brothers and I will beat you into submission!”
“Brothers, let’s go!”
“Break this old guy’s legs first!”
“Let him understand the consequences of opposing us!”
Hearing Yuan Qingshan’s reply, before Baili Lie could speak, one of his lackeys, with dyed red hair, was the first to jump out to show his loyalty!
As he shouted, several young ruffians with dyed hair of various colors jumped out from the crowd behind him.
These ruffians were all flexing their muscles, appearing ready to teach Li Qingshan a lesson.
“Hmph!”
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“I’m telling you!”
“This is our Treasure Medicine Pavilion’s territory!”
“Daring to cause trouble here!”
“Haven’t you even peed to look at yourself in the reflection?”
“Brothers!”
“Let’s go too!”
“Let these outsiders know that we’re not to be bullied!”
Seeing that the opposing side had made a move.
Yuan Qingshan’s side also had a shop assistant jump out.
Mimicking the red-haired guy, he started to shout to the people behind him.
But unfortunately!
Although his thoughts and the red-haired guy’s were similar.
Both of them wanted to curry favor with their respective bosses.
However, he had clearly overlooked one crucial point.
That was the fundamental difference between the people of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion and those hooligans on the other side!
When the other side’s subordinates jumped out, it was to show loyalty, hoping to gain more benefits from their boss in the future.
But the people on Yuan Qingshan’s side were a bit different.
They were all just working there!
They wouldn’t talk about any so-called brotherhood.
To them, whoever paid them money, they were that person’s employee.
And Yuan Qingshan had clearly lost his influence.
Following such a boss offered no more profit.
The fact that they were still standing behind Yuan Qingshan and hadn’t left was already the greatest loyalty to their former boss!
As for asking them to fight for Yuan Qingshan, or even risk their lives.
That was purely wishful thinking!
Even if they went to join the yellow-haired guy on the other side, and helped them beat up Yuan Qingshan, it would be better than risking their lives for Yuan Qingshan now!
Therefore, upon hearing the shop assistant’s words, not a single person on Yuan Qingshan’s side stepped forward!
Looking at the state of his own “brothers” behind him!
The shop assistant who had jumped out first at that moment felt like he was in a difficult situation.
After hesitating for a moment, the fellow could only blush deeply and then silently retreated behind Yuan Qingshan.
“Hahahaha!”
“Yuan Qingshan, Yuan Qingshan!”
“Take a good look!”
“These are the employees you hired?”
“This is the boss you are?”
“How about it, I’ll give you one last chance!”
“Hand over the refining method for the medicinal pills!”
“Then kowtow to me three times, and this matter will be settled!”
“Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave the Treasure Medicine Pavilion safely today!”
Looking at the people on the other side, Baili Lie burst into a triumphant laughter.
Now that even Yuan Qingshan’s own hired employees were unwilling to come forward to help him, Baili Lie really couldn’t imagine how Yuan Qingshan could refuse his demands.
He truly didn’t believe that Yuan Qingshan would be a warrior who would rather die than yield!
“Who do you want to kowtow to?”
“Do you think that with those shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind you!”
“You can run rampant in this place?”
“You want the refining method for the medicinal pills?”
“Then why bother bothering Pavilion Master Yuan!”
“Just come find me!”
“I have plenty of refining methods for medicinal pills!”
“It just depends on whether you have the ability to get them!”
Just as Baili Lie was lost in his dream of getting the medicinal pill formula and striking it rich, a clear and cold voice slowly came from behind him, interrupting his fantasy.
Following the source of the voice, Baili Lie only saw a young man, who looked a few years younger than himself, walking slowly from the front desk of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion towards them.
And the previous words had indeed come from this young man.
“Heh heh!”
“It seems there are quite a few people who want to die today!”
“Fine, since you little bastard like to stick your neck out for others!”
“Then I’ll start with you!”
“So that old man Yuan can see!”
“What happens when you offend me, Baili Lie!”
“Hong Gui, break this kid’s legs!”
“And pull out his tongue!”
“Let him know what it means to speak recklessly!”
Seeing Zhou Xuan, who had already walked up to him, Baili Lie waved his hand and gave orders to the red-haired guy beside him.
In his opinion, Zhou Xuan was simply here to court death!
Since this fellow wanted to stand up for Yuan Qingshan, he would cripple this kid first.
After Yuan Qingshan saw the tragic state of this kid, he would be even more hesitant to resist him!
However, Baili Lie didn’t know at this moment.
The moment he gave this order, Yuan Qingshan on the other side had already silently begun to recite scriptures for him in his heart.
Not for any other reason!
Purely out of admiration for this Baili Lie.
To dare to speak to the gentleman in front of him like this.
This fellow probably truly didn’t know how to write the word “death”!
